    Turns out the 320.18 driver is actually creating the blue screen of death,and has been known to actually fry graphics card.

    Rolling back to the previous driver has cleaned up the problem for the M14X R1

    Excellent find, thanks for posting your resolution also. Yeah there's like pages on the nvidia forms about the 320.xx drivers causing lots of problems. I believe there are beta drivers or even new ones out that should resolve the problems that version 320.xx caused

    I would try the latest 320.49 WHQL drivers released yesterday (July 1). See if that helps.

    Has worked great for me so far, 320.18 was giving me blue screens too.

    Thanks for sharing +1
